INCONSTANCY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: O queen of my beloved ones
Last Line: For whom I'll die tomorrow.
Alternate Author Name(s): Sully-prudhomme
Subject(s): Unfaithfulness; Infidelity; Adultery; Inconstancy


O queen of my beloved ones,
Know that I've named them all my suns,
My queens, each in her turn.
Each beautiful, unparalleled. ...
And every one I have beheld
For you I gladly spurn.

And every one I love much more,
But every one that I adore
Charms me with deeper sorrow;
And you, the latest on the throne,
I love you less than the unknown
For whom I'll die tomorrow.
